Aona AI is an enterprise AI governance platform designed to help organizations manage, secure, and oversee the adoption of generative AI tools across their workforce. The platform addresses risks associated with unsanctioned AI usage (Shadow AI), data leakage, and lack of employee preparedness for AI adoption. The platform is built around three core capabilities. First, Unified AI Usage Analytics provides visibility into all AI tool usage across an enterprise — including tools such as Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT — enabling organizations to identify Shadow AI activity, monitor adoption patterns by team, and detect risky data flows. Second, AI Safety Guardrails enforce policy-based controls that automatically redact sensitive information (including PII, intellectual property, and confidential data) before it is transmitted to external AI tools, with options to block or warn users on high-risk behaviors. Third, a Real-Time AI Coach delivers in-context, just-in-time guidance to employees as they interact with AI tools, offering best practices, safe alternatives, and role-specific training. Aona AI targets enterprise customers across industries including mining, legal, investment, cybersecurity, and managed services. The platform is backed by Antler, a venture capital firm. Blog content is authored by Bastien Cabirou, suggesting a small, early-stage team. The company offers a 90-day free trial for its Generative AI Risk Discovery product. Resources including governance templates, industry guides, and tool comparisons are also provided to support enterprise AI adoption programs.
